Rory Returns to the Winner's Circle

This week’s newsletter features:
Rory’s Big Win At Pebble Beach
Jason Day’s Attire…
PGA TOUR addresses slow play
And much more!
Rory Wins at Pebble
The PGA TOUR had the two ingredients it needed for a big weekend at a signature event.. A top tier venue and a strong leaderboard. Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, Tom Kim, Shane Lowry were up there, just to name a few. When it was all said and done, McIlroy cruised to a 2 stroke win at the famed Pebble Beach Golf Links. Sunny skies made the TV viewing all that much better as well. It was a much needed week for the PGA TOUR, which has had a slow start to the season with weaker fields and low TV ratings.
🚨🏆👏🏻 #WINNING MOMENT — Rory McIlroy joins Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson to win at least 27 times on TOUR with 4+ majors in the last 30 years.

Jason Day Draws a Reaction
It’s safe to say that Jason Day’s endorsement deal with Malbon has been paying off for the brand. It seems that every time he is in action, he’s wearing something wild and unique. On Sunday at Pebble, Day wore a full sweat suit, from sweat pants to a sweat shirt. According to the Pebble Beach dress code, sweatpants aren’t even allowed on the course but hey, when you’re Jason Day you can probably do whatever you want. Do you think this attire is professional enough or should he dial it back a bit?
🚨💀⛳️ #LOUNGING AT PEBBLE — Jason Day is playing his final round in a full sweat suit, including pants that are tied.
Is this professional or has he pushed it too far?

PGA TOUR Addresses Slow Play Issues
The PGA TOUR told a small group of reporters at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am that it is taking steps to address slow play with a slew of measures aimed at helping fix the issue. One of the most significant changes is the allowance and testing of distance measuring devices during competition. The TOUR says during some tournaments this year, they will test the ability for players to use range finders. Other measures include publicizing fines for greater transparency. Some fans have suggested that a shot clock, like the one used in TGL would be a good solution but so far we’ve seen nothing on that front.
🚨⏰⛳️ #SLOW PLAY — The PGA TOUR says they are considering several new initiatives to fix slow play issues. The proposed changes include:
—Testing the use of range finders in competition
— Publicize pace of play data with “average stroke time”
— Publicly disclose fines &… x.com/i/web/status/1…— NUCLR GOLF (@NUCLRGOLF)

LIV to Start Season Under The Lights
The LIV Golf league is teeing off for the first time in 2025 this week but there’s a catch... they’ll be playing under the lights from Saudi Arabia. Night golf you could call it - but the live broadcast will air during the day time hours in the United States due to the time zone difference. Some guys were already getting a look at the course this weekend.
